Hello together, For a week now I have also been driving a 453 fortwo with Cool&Audio package, i.e. with the simpler standard radio. I have already read before that the radio reception is supposed to be bad, but had probably a wrong idea of how this bad reception really can be judged. I suspected that there might be problems with anyway rather weak stations, and did not think much about it. Now unfortunately I came to the realization that the reception is not Even the strongest stations, which have never had problems on any radio before and are mostly still to be received without an antenna, are constantly at the noise, it becomes louder and quieter during the ride (no, it’s not because of the automatic volume adjustment, which is switched off), and most of the time only mono-reception… The problems seem to occur especially during the ride, The reception was always ok so far. Is there any solution for this problem already? Interesting would be the question whether it is on the radio or on the strange antenna construction under the fender. Does someone use another radio with the standard antenna and can say something about it? Is there a practically feasible and affordable way to install a better antenna?

Hello, who already has experience with the cross connect holder? Which smartphone is used by you? Is it true that only smartphones up to 5″ can be integrated? What is the usability, especially with regard to the thus concealed buttons of the audio unit? Is it worth ordering?

Hello friends Bin for half a year in possession of a Smart Fortwo 453. Had problems with the sensors in the WR – were not recognized – complete replacement of Smart Workshop – now everything ok. (supposedly a sensor was defective and the whole system goes on malfunction. Luckily everything was free !!! What bothers me mainly are the H4 lamps/brains. Would like to buy other better, but does not know which. Bosch 90+ Night breaker etc. ??? Which are recommended. Or can H7 be used As I see, the passing beam and the driving beam are present with me in a pear. At H7 it is always written by pears driving light and pear passing light. Is there also H7 as a bulb for both lights or must stay with improved H4? I don’t know what is best, just want to have a better light. Someone can help me a lot.

Hello guys, if you don’t mind that the so-called Start Stop automatic in the smart is also partly responsible for the fact that the standard built-in scrap battery gives up the mind early, it is in my opinion a serious safety risk. The situation: I drive at a green traffic light into a junction and want to turn left. Since oncoming traffic is I stop in the middle of the intersection, car goes off. Now there is a gap in the oncoming traffic and I go down from the brake. with the Smart does not start like with other vehicles in the second where I walk off the gas, but only with considerable delay. Apparently, a starter is installed here, which has not yet been designed for a start stop automatic. Almost there would have been a collision.

Hello, I have already seen pictures where the display of digital tachometer is displayed in the color display. It is also described in the instructions: Display of digital tachometer The display shows the digital tachometer. The digital tachometer in the header is hidden. Only for England: Digital tachometer in the header is displayed further. My model year 2017 unfortunately does not show this point. Do you have the display of the speed in the display?

So … it’s already OK and the following is also “a bit of whining at a high level” … – the system sounds a bit rough and the frquency band is a bit crowded. – a space is missing. It shouldn’t be on the loudspeakers, but on a missing or incorrectly designed DSP digital sound processor. The things cost something and here SMART seems to have “something bad” saved. Who asks at my small sound artist-operation, if they do not „inconspicuously” a small fine DSP can loop in ? … and what do they mean to the sound image. … But as I said … some whining at a high level … Does anyone know what to do ? What do you mean ?

1 year ago I bought a Smart 453 EZ 12/15 with just under 19,000km and a young smart warranty. Today with 24,000km battery is defective. I always switch off start-stop automatic, so it is never used. Is it normal that the battery is defective after just over 3 years? With the Smart, 12km is driven to work 5 times a week and back. I still have a young smart guarantee. Can I hope for culanz? Or should I just get a new battery

Moin moin, because my current smartie (42, petrol, BJ 2004) unfortunately unstoppably counters the engine death (has 90tsd KM down), should be a new one no later than next spring. I actually liked the new ForFour with automatic transmission, consumption should be combined according to Smart at 5.0 liters. Sure, in reality it is above, but by how much? In the net I came across test reports, which partly report on a consumption of ELF liters, that would be d I drive 90% of the city and now have a consumption of 6.5 – 7 liters with the old ForTwo Coupe, which I already feel is quite high. Does someone drive the new ForFour and can say what to the consumption? Thank you very much!

What about the car tax when a smart is newly registered from September 2018? Does someone happen to have information about whether it remains unchanged or rises to xx€? Does the smart meet the Euro 6c, Euro 6d-Temp standard according to WLTP?
